ICYMI: McConnell’s Rare Moment of Honesty
“Not a single member of my party voted for it. So you’re gonna get a lot more money. I didn’t vote for it, but you’re gonna get a lot more money.”
Frankfort, KY — In a rare moment on Tuesday, Senator McConnell told the truth during remarks to the Murray-Calloway Economic Development Corporation and the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce.
According to reports from the event:
In a speech to the Murray-Calloway Economic Development Corporation and the Murray-Calloway County Chamber of Commerce in Murray, Kentucky, McConnell (R-KY) acknowledged that the American Rescue Plan, which he and all Republicans in Congress voted against, had provided a massive infusion of cash to the state and local governments.”
McConnell reminded the audience that neither he nor any member of his party supported the relief:
“Not a single member of my party voted for it. So you’re gonna get a lot more money. I didn’t vote for it, but you’re gonna get a lot more money. Cities and counties in Kentucky will get close to seven or eight hundred million dollars.If you add up the total amount that will come into our state: $4 billion. That’s twice what we sent in last year.”
